That's sad.
As I understand it, this bike was built by two guys, one of which has a mental illness that makes it impossible for him to function in public. The puppet bike made it possible for him to earn a living without having to interact with people all the time.
Wow. There's a special place in hell...
Indeed.

This is just evil. My wife and I love it when ever we see puppet bike on the street. It always makes a bad day a good day.
I hope it can be fixed. I would donate to a fix it up fund.
Good Lord.

I will definitely chip in to a puppet bike restoration fund.
Count me in

Please keep us posted when you have any details on the damage done and what kind of help is needed to make repairs. I’m sure there are many here who would chip in money, parts, or labor to save the puppet bike.
I see this bike in Andersonville all the time and though it always creeped me out a bit (puppets are f-ing scary) if I had kids I would sure as hell let them enjoy its playful weirdness.

This is very sad. Some people are no better than a pile of excrement on concrete which sadly can be found everywhere :(
Ryan, are you more of a clown person? :)

You talk an awful lot about kids lately. Are they on your mind? ;)

My wife keeps stating we have two more years before we make our own tiny human to wreak havok upon the universe. Plus I know 4 people who have recently been impregnated so it is a hot topic right now.
Yeah, Jack's puppet bike is always in Andersonville and I enjoy the show when I catch it. They're always coming up with something fresh and funny. Hopefully the asshole(s) responsible get caught...
Why do people hate happy so much :'(
